Scaled from the NZ average comprehensive premium ($1,311/year) against this listing's $165,000 price.

Unscheduled repairs$585

What breaks between services — an estimate by vehicle age (96 years old) and a brand-tier multiplier (budget-reliable/mainstream/premium/exotic) for Buick. Averaged across good years and bad — most years cost less than this, and an occasional big-ticket failure costs a lot more. This listing's 52,025km is well below the ~1,152,000km expected for its age, so the estimate is scaled down 10%.

Total annual running cost$9,966
